Tofu “chicken” (C)

Compliments of Katherine Miller, Kosmic Kitchen
Can be made ahead of time.
The texture of the tofu will vary depending on how firm it is. Letting the tofu drain before cutting it up helps it to get crispier and chewier in the oven. Stand the cake of tofu upright in a bowl in the fridge on paper towels for a few hours, or for maximum effect, place a little pressure on it with a plate and a weight; you can also freeze the tofu which changes the texture completely, making it chewier in a spongy kind of way. Take the whole package and put it in the freezer, when you are ready to use it thaw it out in the fridge for a day, gently squeeze out most of the water, and then cut into pieces.

Ingredients:
Firm Tofu—4-6 servings (1 14-16 oz)
Bragg Liquid Aminos or soy sauce—1 1/2 Tbls
Garlic powder—1 tspBlack pepper—1/2 tsp
Olive oil—2 Tbls

Instructions:
Pre-heat oven to 400F, place tofu strips in a mixing bowl and toss with seasonings. Once marinated for 10 minutes or longer, place on an oiled baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crispy, about 20 – 30 minutes.

Good old fashion vegetable broth ©

Serves: Makes one gallon

Ingredients
Mixed vegetables to equal approximately 5 1/2 cups – 7 cups

(Use vegetables such as onions, leeks, garlic, carrots, celery, fennel and parsnips. Do not use vegetables from the cabbage/broccoli family.)

1/2 T salt or Vege-sal
2/3 gal. cold water

Instructions
The week prior to preparing the broth, collect all good, clean bits and ends of vegetables. Keep the vegetables, uncooked, in a plastic bag or container in the refrigerator.

When the time is at hand to make the broth, rinse and chop the saved vegetable bits and ends, along with other uncooked vegetables, to equal 5 1/2 cups or more.

Place the chopped, clean vegetables in a soup pot and cover with 2/3 gallon of COLD water. Add the salt or Vege-sal.

Cover and bring broth to a boil. Lower heat and let simmer for at least 1 1/2 hours and up to 4 hours. (The longer, the better.)

Pour broth through strainer, pressing on solids to remove as much liquid as possible. Discard (or compost) cooked vegetables.

Use broth in soups, stews and gravy. Store leftover broth in covered container in the refrigerator, where it will keep for about a week. The broth also freezes well for up to two months.

Bone Stock ©

1 ½ lbs. of bones

8 cups of water

3 T vinegar, any kind; you can also use lemon or lime juice

2 tsp of salt

Rinse the bones,
place in a 3 quart stock pot or other heavy bottomed pan.
Add vinegar and salt bring to a boil slowly.
Turn down the heat and let soup simmer on the stove for several hours (4-12 the longer you leave simmering the more nutrients and minerals will be released from the bones.)
Add water as needed.
After 4-8 hours of cooking remove the bones and you have a great bone broth.
This recipe can be made in a crock pot.
If you chill this broth the fat will float to the top and be easy to remove.
This broth will be thick and congealed—that is calcium and minerals, don’t confuse this consistence with fat, the small amount of fat will be more yellow and on the top of the broth.
You can remove the bones store them in the freezer to be used at a later date with the above ingredient to make another broth.

If you have tired (still contain nutrients but not suitable to use in other dishes) veggies, cut them up and add them with the bones for a veggie/bone broth.

This broth can be put aside in small servings in the freezer and added to vegetable soup to add nutrients and support to your favorite soup recipe.

Serves: 10 or more

Ingredients

1 recipe for Creamy Millet
(See recipe on Guido’s website.)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Once creamy millet has been allowed to cool and congeal, cut into desired shapes and place on a greased cookie sheet. Cut shapes according to how they will be used, such as: small triangle shapes for dipping, larger triangle shapes to serve with a ratatouille sauce, thin, flat squares and rectangles for pizza and open face sandwiches, etc.

Space millet shapes apart from each other, spray with grapeseed or olive oil and bake for up to one hour. Check to see if millet shapes are done after 45 minutes. The longer they bake, the crispier they will become, but take care not to bake them for too long or they will dry out.

Stewed Greens ©

6-10 Garlic Scapes, washed and tough end trimmed. (You can snap the tough end off, just as you would asparagus.)

Olive oil

Vege-Sal

Heat oven to 350 degrees, toss whole garlic scapes in olive oil and Vege-Sal, place spread out on a cookie sheet. Bake scapes in 350 degree oven for 5-10 minutes, until golden brown.

Serve whole, use leftovers in egg dish, great as a garnish -for other dishes, such as fresh corn salsa, sprouted lentil salad…you can chop the garlic into small pieces, toss in olive oil and bake as stated above, check at 4 minutes, remove when golden brown. They can get pretty dark and still taste good.

Greens with Currents ©

Mustard, Kale and Kohlrabi Greens

Onions

Olive Oil, Grape Seed Oil

Organic Currents

Sea Salt

According to Chinese Medicine – in spring bitter greens are eaten for their expansive ascending qualities. The concentrated sweet of the currents plays two roles; they have a rising quality and in this case they balance the dish so that even children can enjoy it. This being a new tradition I wanted to make it accessible to children.
